Travel insurance while on diagnosis waiting list

Hi all. My name is *****. I'm 45 and was recently referred for autism and adhd testing to see if it was a contributing factor with my ocd (and due to other reasons).

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask. I'm trying to get travel insurance. Because the autism waiting list counts as being an a waiting list with an undiagnosed issue I have to get more specialised insurance.

I've found All Clear which seems good. They will give me insurance but exclude any claim relating to my undiagnosed Autism (and ADHD) assuming I even have it. Now undiagnosed or not I can't think of any reason I'd need to make a claim for anything related to that. Worst case would be I get  panicked and need to go home but I'll only be in France and can easily book a ticket back on my money (besides. I've lived with it for 45 years and it's not been an issue ever on holiday before so it won't be now).

Does anyone have any advice about this. I suppose I'm partly worried they'll claim any claim must be related to my autism. Advice I've had is that they would have to prove it was related which is unlikely to be the case so I shouldn't worry about. (Either way. I have little choice if I want to go).

Anyone who has any advice or experience with this I would hugely appreciate it.


Cheers

  • Good question. I have never thought about ASD in travel insurance terms. It would depend on what support needs you have.

    As ASD is not a medical condition or disease but a developmental condition I am unsure of how this would apply?

    I am sure someone will be along who can answer better than I have.
